Self-driving bus travels 2 miles in Cambridge
The UK’s first self-driving bus completed its trial in Cambridge. The vehicle travelled at the highest speed of 20 mph.
The trial of the self-driving bus was delayed for two years due to coronavirus. The trial will support the researches about how smart technology can improve the city’s transport.
The driverless bus will operate 24/7 and it will cover a two-mile loop between the West Cambridge University campus, the nearby Institute of Astronomy, and a local park-and-ride bus station.
Each bus is capable of carrying ten passengers at a time. The small buses feature a 22kW electric motor paired with a 47kWh battery, providing a range of around 100 miles between charges
The vehicles were developed in collaboration between Arrigo and the Greater Cambridge Partnership, a group consisting of local councils and the University of Cambridge working to deliver projects in the area.
Furthermore, passenger trials are planned during June with selected passengers to be invited onboard the 10-seater shuttle.
